stnolan Posted March 8, 2010 Share #3 Â Posted March 8, 2010 I thought maybe they were shipping them on freighters through the horn of Africa and Somali pirates are holding them ransom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted March 8, 2010 Share #6 Â Posted March 8, 2010 Dunk, I don't know the exact details, but the deliveries due to some, if not all, UK dealers last week did not take place because of a crate damaged, presumably between Solms and MK. I have it on good authority that around 1500 items of Leica equipment have to be individually examined in MK for a pending insurance claim. I guess there is probably quite a spread of inventory items and a proportion are probably quite OK. It is thoroughly bad luck because I was expecting my accessories in time for me to check small bag options at Focus this week. Paper templates aren't very satisfactory. But at least I have the camera, for which I am very grateful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grober Posted March 8, 2010 Share #8 Â Posted March 8, 2010 If true, sounds like a heck of a "scratch & dent" sale for Leica employees and partners, eh? Â -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsrockit Posted March 9, 2010 Share #10 Â Posted March 9, 2010 Ok, just got word from Leica. The accident occurred at 07:23:51 EST on March 5, 2010. Allegedly, the whole pallet, containing everything everyone has been waiting for, was somehow dumped into a vat of urine at UPS. UPS has not come clean with what the vat is utilized for...

rob_x2004 Posted March 9, 2010 Share #13 Â Posted March 9, 2010 heard at that a fork lift crashed into a whole load of x1's ? any truth? Â Not quite. During forklift maintenece someone opened the box, took out the camera and thinking it worthless anachronism, used it as a wheel chock. Some quick thinker from Leica dispatch put his thumb over the qty column on the packing slip and solemly stated truthfully that the entire quarters production had been in the shipping accident and they were trying to determine how many slavageable units would now filter through, but that it was looking bleak. Word is someone might have used the fifty summilux from the only other box as a loupe in the low light to check the axle bearings so look out for a press release on ......
